Abstract: | Summary A theorem, analogous to the continuous time Threshold Theorem of Kermack and McKendrick, is proved for a certain discrete time epidemic model. This model, in contrast to its continuous time analogue, leads to some solutions in which the total population of susceptibles may become infected in a finite time. |
